Your First Aggressive Skates

Just throwing a question out there on what your first pair of "aggressive skates" were. I'll Start,

My first pair were Bauer f3's with the frame dremel tooled down so I could fit a pair of CDS detroit Grease stick Grind plates on them. Man, they were Ghetto but, if you didn't have a pair of rollerblade TRS's. Then you didn't have "real aggressive skates" back then. My first real pair of aggressive skates were Roces Majestic 12's. The first ones, not the new ones...hahahaha

Wow - you are old skool! I remember those CDS skates...

I went through 2 pair of TRS skates and then I got a pair of K2 Fattys. I had Roces for a while there too.

You realize most people on here were barely born when we had those skates, right?!

my first pair were an old pair of Salomons. now that I look back on those and see what they have now, those skates were horrible. now i have Remz Two 07's and I love em.

Awwww, Now I feel really old...THX :-). Yah, In the beginning you just took whatever skate you owned and modified them to put a groove, grind plates, and soul plates on them and you were good to go. SO thats what we did.

Right as I first stopped skating Solomon had just put out their first skate like the year before and EVERYBODY wanted them. they were pretty revolutionary at the time.

I think i remember the lowriders, were they the ones with the blue aluminum frames? I can't remember if they were.

Yup, those were them, I thought guys only wore those in halfpipe/vert. You did get jakked by that skate shop kid.

OK, Im going to go home later and see if i can find my original skates, although i think i threw them out. But, here is a pic of the Bauer F3's.

As you can see the ridges on the frame i had to grind down so a grind plate could fit on it.

So horrible...hahahahaha

my neighbours gave me a pair of unbranded black and green inline ones. you had to get a hammer to make sure the clips worked, and i used to give myself blisters with them so i didn't have to go swimming practice XD
